NH\V YOHK , July 21. Just at this moment
fashion li revolving vigorously round the
Louis XVI period. In Paris , where the
dramatization of Dumas' novel. "Le Collier
do la Heine , " has revived Interest In the
styles of this time , all Hie new things are
cither "Louis XVI" or "Marie Antoinette. "
and It Is hinted by authorities high In rnat-
tera modish that by winter we will all be
looking exactly like old court portraits. Stiff
bretellei and crinoline skirts , It Is said , will
give way to soft draperies and floating
fichus ; the fichus , In all degrees of laca and
muslin , have already appeared as Inviting ac
cessories , but later on they will be part and
parcel of the short bodies. As for > our dresk-
up bodice , 11 will ba something entirely dif
ferent from what It has been.
' THK IlKION OP TUB COAT.
It Is to be a coat evidently. Uut when'
Monsieur Felix says It Is to be a Louis XVI
coat , another big wig says It will bo a Louis
Qulnza coat. At any rate. It will be a coat ,
short and open , and with a smart , flared tall
and hip pockets , nnd the iif may be rltliir
a tight affair , with Jeweled buttons , or else
In the shape of a "fichu mentcur , " which
fichu and called because
means a story-telling , so
cause It gives a deceiving air of plumpness
Hut. In plain English , a fichu mentcur Is
simply a fichu with crossed bsrtha-folds.
In the way of hats , If one Is to Judge from
present Indications , headgear Is to be fear
fully and wonderfully made.
Yet , some of the midsummer hats are
very charming. All shew the Influence of
Louis XVI modes In breadth of crown , but
where some aru perfect flower gardens of
random posies , others are distinguished chiefly
by odd shapings and a fantastic wearing of
the straw. One very wonderful model on this
order , and which Is here pictured , was called
the Marie Antoinette , and as can be seen. It
Is more like a mop cip than a hat. It was
of fine black chip , with the crown pleated
Into the brim mop cap fashbn , and the brim
cJgod quaintly with a little frill of the chip.
The trimmings were black velvet ribbon ,
black feathers and LT France roses.
AN ANToiNinrn HAT.
Another In the same shape was of white
chip , with a frill of crimped blond Uca
standing up all round the crown , two bunches
of pink and green roses lit each s.do Still
another was of pile green chip , with a
wreath cf pink anJ white verbena , and bo.vs
and strings cf green taffeta ribbon , and this
r.'as the sweetest of all.
Ono could flgaro the sort of woman who
will wear It , even If she hadn't been seen
MARIE ANTOINETTE HAT.
sitting under a tree at an out-of-town garden
party. She was tall and blond of course ,
ns should be the woman who takes to Marie
Antoinette fashions , and straight under her
oval chin the w'de strings cf her hat wore
tied In a big fetching bow. She wore a gown
of white organdie , barrel with green and
little vines cf pink , and made with a rohnd
bodice and a frilled fichu , with long ends
of white silk mull. Her big hat was tilted
low over her forehe".d after the approved
Marie Antoinette fashion , and though her
front hair cculd not be seen one was con
fident It was arranged pompadour , from the
wiy the sides such cool , blond , white
sides ! were sleeked back. Besides , the
stately pompadour puff goes with the Louis
XVI modes , and the woman who would wear
such. Adorable toggery could not do other
than ha\e her locks In keeping , She was a
pattern to be remembered.
DESIGNED roil HRUNKTTBS. .
Seated next to the demure blond lady was
n dashing symphony of brunette coloring
tnd yellow taffeta bilk A black-eyed
maid t was this , nnd though her gown ,
which was sprigged with wall-flowers and
trimmed with quaint little mines of Swiss
v\as most worthy of tribute , it was
her headgear that struck the eye of the
searcher after truth and millinery. It was
a wonderful hat , modern and eccentric tea
a degree , but It became the girl's little
black head cnchantlngly. And so one put
away the Idea of picturing It on the wrong
maid.
It was a dead white chip with a sort
of billycock crown , high and stiff and
largest at the top ; around this the brim
was literally ftllled on , most of the full
ness being at the left whore , undarneath
dark red roses burned against the hair
The cole , other trimming was a big flyaway
bow of thick velvet ribbon nt th ; light
side , and n band of the same that encir
cled the crown as If holding It In. Dlit
the effect was stunning.
CROWNS. DUIMS AND TRIMMINGS.
The ciowns of trimmed sailors hive
broadened out astonishingly slnco spring.
Some shown by one of our smartest man-
mllllncrs , Indeed , are almost all crown ,
brims being very narrow and trimmings
put on to Increase this effect , Posed on
the head well forward , as Is now the moilo
for nlmnst all hats , at a little distance
they have the air of turbans. Crowns of
wider brimmed sillers nro not so large ,
but. the trimmings even of them are
massed almost out to the edge of the brim ,
and when a few weeks ago this trimming
was chiefly a mad collection of Indiscrim
inate blossoms , birds , wings and chiffon
and nre now much used. Gulls and white
pigeons are the favorite blrdllngs , and the
chiffon Is rolled In loose ropes and made
up Into great snow hill puffs.
These chiffon snowballs are very funny.
They uro hs large round as your lists
doubled , and often stand straight up on a
tall wire stem , which Is also clumsily
wrapped with chiffon. Onoery dashIng -

No better evidence of the social changes of
ho present day can be found , says Leslie's
Weekly , than In the part taken by southern
women In the making of the Cotton States
nd International exposition at Atlanta. Not
hat there In any particular novelty to the
net. The Woman's building at the Coltim-
) lan World's fair at Chicago will long be rc-
ncmbercd as a wonderful monument to wom
an by woman In every part of the eastern ,
northern , central nnd western states the sex
tea with man In Industrial , professional nnd
ntcllcctual progress. In all these districts
he old order has yielded to tlio new. But In
the south It has heretofore been very differ
ent. The old order prevailed everywhere.
onsenatism was the universal rule , and
change bcomcd Impossible The Atlanta ex-
losltlon has wrought u peaceful but rapid
revolution In Dixie. Within a twelvemonth
t has effected a change such as would have
utterly bonified Mrs Grundy in 1S92. It
las put the foutli in line with the rebt of
the union , and opened up a new era for Us
people.
The story Is brief and Interesting When
ho male directors began their plans and ar
rangements far the exposition there was little
or no provision made for what Is now known
as a woman's department. Hut there were
thousands of cultured poutnrrn men and
A omen who had attended the World's fair ,
and been amazed nt the Woman s building
and Its exhibits within the fair grounds , and
ho great Woman's Temple In the city proper
This acted as an Incentive , which resulted
n the formation of a board of lady managers.
Including n laige number of the leading
women of the state. The exposition directors
lielng unable to furnish a building , the
women raised , by their own ef
forts , the sum ot $15.000 , to which
the directory afterward made an addition of
$10,000. Then the energetic woman's boarD
opened a competition for female architects ,
and selected the design ot ono of the competi
tors , Miss Mercur of 1'ittsburg , for the
Woman's building. This much accomplished ,
the board formulated a plan of action to
[ nr-reachlnc ; and comprehensive as to equal
that of the Chicago fair. A boird of visitors
was established , consisting of Mrs. Cleveland ,
the countess of Aberdeen , a dozen distln
gtiished society women from the great cities
3f the land , and another dozen from Georgia
This gave the woman's department a social
tone and character of the best type A
second move was to enlist the Interest of the
many women's oiganlzatlons of the country ,
a third , to obtain the Invaluable aid of the
press , domestic and foreign ; a fourth , to at
tract exhibitors troin distant points , both at
home nnd abroul ; and a fifth , to increase the
attractiveness , variety , beauty and utility of
the exhibits to bo shown In the Woman's
building. Along all these lines work is now
going on continuously. Assuring responses
have como trom every quarter In the new
world and the old. 1
nut It Is In regard to the exhibition o !
woman's Industry and work that the largest
labor has been done. The mere list of the
committees affords a good Insight Into what
Is being accomplished. Practically every
thing in which woman Is concerned Is
covered. Among others there are committees
on decorative and applied art , floriculture ,
agriculture and pomology , fine art , sculpture
hospitals and charities- kindergartens , day
nurseries and children's schools , woman's
professions , patents. Inventions and dibcov-
orlea , lltnaturc nnd the press , architecture
building and housekeeping , bee culture , poul
try and ornithology , copklng , embroidery and
education , music , normal schoo's and colleges ,
and household economics.
The Woman's building under such auspices
promises to be ' the feature ot the exposition.
It Is artistic'home-like , and elegnnt. The
exhibits will be enough In number and In
terest to stock a great museum. It will un
doubtedly bo nn Important factor In Improv

One representative In the next congress
will be nominated and elected by a woman ,
says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. She
the widow of Captain Hlchard King , anil
she owns a principality In southern Texas
Her landed estate consists of about 1,250,000
acres that Is to say , nearly 200 square miles
Tor taking care of this vast domain a small
army of moil Is required. Their votes are
controlled by the mistress , who Is to all
Intents and purposes a queen.
The records of the land ofllco at Wash
ington reveal some extraordinary facts , with
relation to that part of southern Texas which
seems on the map to Intrude Into Mexico
terminating In n point at the mouth of the
Rio Grande , This region , nearly as big as
New Hngland , comprises four great coun
ties , and Is owned by four families the
Kings , the Kennedys , the Collinses and the
Armstrongs. Much the largest of the fcur
share * belongs In fee simple to Mrs , King.
The ancient road from San Antonio to
Urownsvlllo has been closed by Mrs. King's
fence. ' , and thcro are no gates. There Is
no road la In that country The only way
to get from Drownsvllle to Alice Is by a
stage route of forty hours. The 'stage car
ries mall for a large part of Mexico. In the
entire distance there Is not u single settle
ment , because the territory traversed belongs
to Mrs , King. Thej region Is wholly wllil
being used for cattle gracing. In "Tho Wesl
from a Car Window" Mrs. King Is referrei
to by Ilichard Harding Davis , who remarks
that It Is difficult to Imagine a solitary fam
ily occupying an ar alarger than some of
the eastern states an area that would In
the east support a stale capital , with gov
ernor and legislature and numerous smal
towntwith competing railway systems am
rival base ball 'nines.
The owner of thin principality Is a gener
ous and liberal , minded woman , about CO
years of age. She does mucligood.and takes
care of her people. To each laborer on her
estates she gj\ei a cow. Her ranch ot Santa
Gertrudla Is the largest In the world ; It ls
bounded by Corpus C'hrlstl bty for a distance
of forty miles , and by barbed wire fence * for
300 miles more. From'her front door to her
front gale Is thirteen miles , and the can drive
In her carriage ilxty-flve miles In a alralgh
line without going off her own premises. Her
liousf lookn like a castle on the Ilhlne a typ
leal baronial mansion. It U situated on a
slight eminence , surrounded by the modes
duellings of her defenders and by fields ot
waving corn , lleyond on every side Is a
green wilderness of meirjulte and cactus.
The chateau Is as completely furnished and
as handsomely equipped as any mansion on
Fifth avenue In New York. No luxury that
money can buy anywhere la lacking to the
widow , who , by the way , Is the daughter of
the first Presbyterian missionary to the Rio
Grande. Corpus Chrlstl Is the terminus of a
lallway , and from that point a continuous
stream of wagons carries Ice and other neces
saries to the ranch. Mrs. King lives for sev
eral months ot each year In a palace at Cor
pus Chrlstl. Her son-in-law , Robert J. Kle-
barg , Is general manager of the ranch , on
which ore 200,000 cattle of Improved breeds.
Long trains of freight cars nre made up at
Corpus Chrlstl to carry Mrs. King's cattle to
the cist.
To run the vast estate casts about $100,000
a year. Fir every twenty miles ot barbed
wire fence thcro Is a man to make repairs
and sec that no break occurs. In the old
days to cut n fencs was an offense likely to
result In the death of the perpetrator ot the
act. Throe hundrcl cowboys are regularly
employed , 1,200 ponlca being set aside for
their uso. Every spring all of the calves
are rounded up for branding. They are
driven Into a pen through a wooden chute ,
and as they leave the t'ntito each one Is
caught by the leg and thrown upon its side.
Then ono of a dozen Irons that are kept
red-hot In an open fire Is pressed upon the
animal's nose. All brands are registered ,
nnd sometimes each member of a family has
one. Mr Davis speaks of a girl who cimo
out In society In New York three winters
ago and who Is known In Texas only as "the
owner of the triangle brand. " Nobody can
get water In that country save by good will
of the owners of the great estates , and no one
can trnvel without their permission , Inas
much as tlierj are no public roads.

Wltn summer feasting comes a demand for
dainty dishes , delicious things which melt In
the mouth and cause one to call down every
blessing upon the head of the ccok , and to
exclaim : "Ah ! that tastes like a little bit ot
heaven ! "
To concoct these toothsome morsels Is often
not so dlfllcult as It sounds , or , shall I say , as
it tastes.
The first consideration is that the morsel
must bo cold cold as charity , and light
light as vanity. Perhaps 'tis H Russian Ice
garnished with violets , or a fruit , sahd .1
"fruit kaltschale , " as the Russians call It.
FOOD A LA RUSSE
Is quite the thing at present , possibly be
cause that nation has brought the art of
things "frold" and gelo to such distracting
perfection.
For example , what can be more refreshing
than a Russian Ice , which , at the present ,
is the most recherche dish at the smart din
ner party 7 The mode of Its manufacture Is
as follows :
Whisk n pint and a halt of cream to a
froth ; add nearly a pound of fine sugar , a
wine glassful of Maraschino or other llqueure ,
hilt a wine glassful of kumiiel , sixteen drops
of essence of vanilla , one and one-half ounces
ot gelatine dissolved In a gill of balling water ,
which should be rose water. Have In reaJl-
ness a glass of spinach juice for coloring the
cream licit the mixture carefully and scat
ter in It shredded fresh plsachlos and almonJs
Pour all Into a mould and place In a pall of
crushed Ice and salt. Serve with Iced cham-
pigue sauce and vanilla gauffres.
FROZEN SALADS.
A fruit salad , or fruit kaltschalo , as the
Russians say , calls for any and every fruit
peaches , pared , stoned and sliced , pineapples ,
apricots , melon , all fresh If possible Put
In a dish and place on the Ice. Put Into a
saucepan ono pint of Lafltte , two "pints of
champagne , a pinch of cinnamon , a wine
glassful of'Madelra , and sugar to taste , nail ,
stirring constantly for flvo minutes ; when

cold , pour over the fruit and serve ; . Common
rod wine may be substituted for the La
fltte and lemonade and orangeade for the
champagne. .
A DELICIOUS RUSSIAN DISH.
Maccdolno a la Ktisse , a dish fit for the
gods , Is something like a fruit salad. Peel
and slice thinly three oranges and put them
In a china mould. ScUtor over these a
layer of single grapes , wiped there iglrty
dry ; then a handful of fresh berries , Inter
mixed with finely shredded almonds and
small pieces of pineapple ; cover these with
another layer cf grapes , hedged In with
slices of oranges , so that at the top as at
the bottom of the Macedolne they are that
first. Melt two gills of gelatine In a pint of
water ; add a wlno glassful of Maraschino , or
other llqueure , a tumbler of syrup of sugar ,
a llqueure glass of anisette and two table
spoons of kummel. Take a small handful
of Russian violets ( petals ) nnd throw them
Into this mixture ; pour It over the fruit and
put the mold In crushed ice until eet When
ready to serve , garnish with Russian violets ,
lets.
COOL INTERVALS WHEN DINING.
Sorbets , which come In so refreshingly
between the Joint and the next course , are
very easily mode. If ono happens to have
the proper moulds , as they need only to
bo filled and burled In tee. A sorbet Is
usually made by mixing a lemon water Ice
with liquor , or syrup for flavoring ; a little
fruit , either fresh or preserved , serves to
garnish the sorbets , which , owing to the
spirit used In making them , are never as
solid as other Ices , Here Is an easy recipe ;
Make a strong lemonade , and when partly
frozen add two glasses of rum or brandy , or
ono of brandy and three of champagne to a
quart of Ice. Sorbets can be varied In
definitely , for almost an } water Ice flavored
with spirit answers.
Sorbet a la Royale Is oranges pulped and
pressed through a slevo. To each halt pint ,
put two ttblcspoons of brandy and two of
orange svrup.
A RICH CHILLY CREAM
A refreshing dessert for a July day In
Bavarian creum with chocolate , and Its manu
facture Is quite simple. Doll together n
pint of cream or rich milk and two table-
spoonsful of sugar ; when nearly cool , flavor
with vanilla , and add hall a box of gelatine ,
which has been dissolved In a cup of water ;
also add the yolks of four eggs well beaten
and two sticks of chocolate which have been
dissolved In a little hot water. When It
Vias become quite cold stir In a pint of
cream , which has been whipped to a stiff
froth. Put In a mould and set on the ice
until wanted.
AN APPETIZING DESSERT.
Creine panachee a la Russe Is made like
Davarlan cream , with equal quantities of
different fruits , cither fresh or preserved.
Put In pineapple , cherries , strawberries ,
peaches and plums. Divide this In three
quantities. Color one pink with cochineal ,
and others green with plstachc ; then
when the cream Is turned out of the mold
garnlsl ! the base of It with little heaps of
the pink and green cream , with whipped
cream over all.
Junket Is always a nice dessert for a
warm day , because It Is easily made , and If
made In time can be put on the Ice and
eaten cold. The bottle of rennet , which
U bought at any druggist's , usually has
printed directions giving the prpportlon ot
rennet usually a tibleipoonful to a quart
eof milk. Devonshire cream gives just the
right finish to a Junuet. When firmly set
cover the junket with a layer of grated
nutmeg , then t * layer ot sugar , and finally a

In every vvuy use Its Influence to discourse
boodllntr ,
Tor once there was a beautiful unanimity
at the club , relates the Chicago Times-Herald.
Each Individual member felt satisfied with
the resolution and assured that It was a
credit to herself and the organisation.
"Only W8 ought to have uttenduJ to this
earlier , and so prevented all the recent scan
dal , " mused the thin 'lady with the lorgnun
"You talk as unreasonably as a woman , "
snapped the lady In the empire gown. "How
on earth could anybody remedy an evil be
fore It existed ? "
The thin lady looked startled , so the sec
retary put in consolingly : "Never mind ,
this resolution will show everybody that we
are and have been radically opposed to nil
sorts and conditions nf bribery "
"Oh , docs boodllng mean bribery ? " gasped
the thin ladv. "Why , I thought all along
that a boodler was something like a burglar ,
who went In and helped himself to
tilings "
"I knew that you were making a mistake , "
Interrupted the empire-gowned member. "I
know It all along Of course n teal boodler
Is one who helps others rather than him
self "
"I don't see. " the secretary began , In a
puzzling way
"You don't have to , " said the other ,
smartly. "Nobody sees a boodler when he
Is boodllng He is only heard of afterward
through the psoplo whom he has benefited
They tell on him , and so ho .has to be pun-
hhoJ Instead ot them. Isn't that clearjl'
"Of course It Is , " said little Miss Snway ,
"but nro you stlre , then , that our resolution
Is Just right' It seems to me "
"Nonsense. Of course It's right. Oh !
pshaw. Will you never be wise ? Don't
you know that we need a club house ? Well ,

Interested Is terribly opposed to these recent
. boodlers , and so vvu nre almost sure to gain
I ils favor through such a move ns this Ic-
' jldes , we are In the right , dear ; we really

I Miss Sawdy still looked troubled and tin-
convince 1 , and said she guesseJ she'd speak
to her papa about It , anyhow. The emplro-
waUted woman nearly screamed. "IJut In
deed you mustn't ! Dear , dear , Miss Sawdy ,
I'll give you that lace handkerchief you liked
so much If you'll keep perfectly silent yes ,
and the enameled butterfly clasp , too. It
you talk about , ' this matter outside you'll
simply ruin us me , for , you see I hope that
my brother-in-law will get the contract for
the building
"But you hce yourself that you
wouldn't risk llfo In a house that your
brother-ln-lnw ded that ho was an

"Yes , I know. Iv Idi but this Isn't to lie a
house , only a cliui ? ouse , that Is , and none of
the people we ktjo are going to live In It ,
except the JanU ofe , The other people who
rent well , yet even know who t'aey
are- . "
"Hut why HI so anxious about this
contract9" sa Sawdy.
"Yes , ed thn thin woman.
"Why' " 10 llttlo secretary ,
"Hecause because he my broth-
cr-ln-law : ilsed mo such a lovely

she shall have the butterfly , too , and I'll
take you all out to have Ice cream right
away. "
They all stnrted to go , but recollected that
tlnce those wicked boodlers have been cor
rupting the Ice , It really wasn't safe to even
take Ice cream soda , for fear It reeked of
stagnant pond or Impure creek.
"It's a wicked shame ! it's an outrageon
a Christian country , " stormed the lady In
ths empire gown , and the others acquiesced
veliemontly. Then they came back and
passed the resolution unanlmous'y.

objecl worthy of the attention of every class ,
from the mcmbera of fashionable society to
students of political economy.
Physically , Senora Couslno is of the high
est type of Spanish beauty. Her daughters
nre all that could be desired as youthful
beauties of the same type , and their appear
ance In the national costume Is charming.
Senora Couslno lives and spends her money
without much regard to public op.lnlon. She
'
Is very fond 9 | b'clght. happy young men.
She always surrounds hersU with a crowd
of them , sometimeslentertalnlng as many as
thirty or forty atja time. To those who
please Ijer. according to the report of an
An erlcan who -visited her at Santiago , slio
gives all the moliey they can spend.
When the -American fleet was at Val-
Upshur and altilili officers to visit her at
Macul and at' ' Santiago. About twenty of
them accepted ; The whole city of San
tiago was at thilr'disposal They could pay
for nothing In shops and restaurants and the
aters. Senora i Coudlno had sent orders to
the trades peoplt > ' 'lllat everything should be
charged to her 'Never ' before lud they BO
fully realized th t'fJmlllar expression , "own-
" J'1' '
Ing the town.
The seiiora's Ifiropfertles Include silver , cop
per and coal 'nllliea. ' Innumerable herds of
cattle , ncres of'reai estate In Santiago and
Valparaiso , thLMWb chief cities of Chill ; a
fleet of steamships , a railroad , smelting
works , vineyards and Immense tracts of
arable land. She not only sells large num
bers of fine horses and cattle , but has had
much success on the race course She bets
heavily , and at one meeting her winnings
were said to be $100,000 ,
From the coal mines alone rhe Is said to
derive an Income of $80,000 a month. At
one time she had a monopoly of the supply
of good Chilian coal. To mine U and de
liver It on shipboard cost her $1.25 a ton ,
and she sold It at a trifle less than $7.50 , at
that time the cost ot Imported English coal ,
The llsl of the sources of her wealth might
be continued by going Into such trifling de
tails ai banks and potteries. Her money-
spending powers are only equaled by her
money-making powers. She leads a golden
existence. If the late M. Dumas had known
her he- would have acknowledged that his
Monte Crlsto was lacking In Imaginative
qualities. Ho.v can U ba wondered then
that the young naval officers were somewhat
Intoxicated by her magnificence ? New York
would Indeed find a valuable addition to
Us social life In her.

(
Hrussrls net and tulle fichus bordered
with ono or three plaited rubles are used
over a high and low necked corsage.
The American challls are this summer ex
ceptionally pretty In design , but the quality ,
though good , Is not at all like the French
goods.
Illack alpaca and black mohair skirts are
Immensely popular this year , these c'.egantly
cut nnd hung , and lined In color matching
t'nnt ot the blouse bodice.
She who Is tired of organ-pipe folds may
have her godct skirt laid In backward-turning
plaits at the back. With nn Interlining ot
fibre chamois the plaits stand out with a
graceful effect.
The beautifully shaded silk embroidery on
the edges of chiffon' , llsse , nnd tulle rufllcs
and flouncing Is machine work entirely , but
It has nil the exquisite and lovely effect of
the finest hand work.
In Paris , grny , beige , white nnd black al
pacas nre everywllierc worn. Some of the
black gowns have Immense sailor collars ot
giecn , violet or brown velvet , with nn ap
plique or rich cream lace nt the edge.
Pretty outing suits ot blue Imperial ecrgc
have Eton jackets with tnbbed fronts nnd
large bishop sleeves. Wash silks , striped ,
checked or dotted , nro used for the blouse
fronts , or often line French zephyrs In plain
colors ot buff , yellow , pink or tan are sub
stituted.
Grass cloth Is pushing Its way to the front
among summer materials. Hcsldes Its use
for fronts and broad collars It also serves
for waists and whole dresses It has the
advantage over some thin materials ot per
mitting a collar to gleam through It without
showing what the material Is.
Though a vast majority of skirts nro mi-
trimmed , not a few of the newest creations
show signs of alteration In this respect.
Flounces appear on many snnrtly made
gowns brought from Europe , and It Is said
that when trimmed skirts again prevail ,
flounces will provide the leading garniture.
A traveling -dress of brown and tan mixed
chovlot has n short , double breasted basque
und a six-yard skirt having godcts at each
side. The skirt and the mutton-leg sleeves
arc liltorllnud with fibre chamois to produce
the correct bouffant oltect , and the chemisette
and standing collar may be of duck or pquo. !
Haircloth is now hardly used at all for
linings. Several substitutes are on the
market for which wonderful qualities arc
claimed. They are warranted not to crease ,
not to ; pllt , and not to lose their stiffness
Whatever their faults may bo will soon be
generally known , for their cheapness makes
them widely employed.
Among the more serviceable of the summer
costumes are those of silver-colored mohair ,
the skirts full , but absolutely plain The
short skirted coats are rcundeJ In front
At the back a very frilly appearance Is
given by means of flutes cf the mohair well
stiffened , and corresponding to those which
give fullness to the skirt.
I'oavy white linen duck suits that cost
qulto as much as a silk costume are made
with gored skirt showing Inserted points on
the lower portion of each seam , made of
rich linen lace. The blouse or waistcoat
jndthe Immense sailor collar and revers
are trimmed with pink or blue linen , with
a bordering of linen lace Insertion about
two nnd one-half Inches v\Mc.
The magpie combination Is becoming to
women of nil ages auil complexions. A
stylish example Includes a capo of black
satin lined with white taffeta , with a neck
ruche of black and white moussellne The
capo Is cut In circular style and Interlined
with fibre chamois. Velvet ribbon divides
favor with spangled satin ribbon as a deco
ration for the. fashionable.
The Trilby lockets , In the shape of large
hearts , arc attracting attention to the jewel
ers' windows. These lockets nre a bit un
gainly , bat being n fad of the hour , that Is
not considered. They swing from a line gold
or silver chain which Is worn about the neck.
The lockets nre made to hold two pictures
The Trilby lockets are made In gold and
silver , nnd many of them nre Incrusted with
jjems.
The new "Dresden challls" nre of rrench
manufacture , and they show many of the
beautiful designs popular in Dresden ribbons
and Bilks , and the small patterned Chine sa
tins of last winter. These fabrics arc as dell-
cite and sheer as veiling , and they make
summer-llko and dainty gowns , which , though
delicate In pattern and coloring , may bo worn
on cool days and evenings during the entire
beason.
A delicate fawn-colored mohair Is made up
with a fawn and rose chameleon silk , with
glints of gold and silver variously showing
on the lustrous surface as different lights fall
Upon It. The skirt is also lined with the
silk. The pretty silk corsage has a pointed
yoke nnd falling shoulder frills of gulpere
lace , the lace Insertion yoke made over plan
rose silk. The sleeves have a largo Queen
Anne puft to the elbows , with lace ruffles as
a finish.
Figured duck Is made up with a bagging
front to the bodice of plain duck , a panel
down the front of the skirt being of white
duck to match. Illack lawn , nccordeon
pleated and worn with a little white duck
jacket that spreads widely open In front to
show the loose blouse of the lawn , makes a
stunning gown. It should be worn with an
all black and cloud-like picture hat , or with
a very trig rough straw In black bound close
.with a roll of white duck for a band.
Green nnd whlto Is a combination ot which
one sees much , a notable example being a
green and white organdie with n floral stripe
of pink roses and green leaves. This Is made
as n very modern princess dress , with the
largo sleeves set on below the shoulders. The
skirt has a plain hem , but the back of the
bodice Is finished with frill of broad lace ,
which forms a babque , while a wide cape-
like fichu Is draped full across the shoulders
The hat Is a large leghorn , garlanded with
green leaves.
Upon some of the handsome dancing toilets
of the season , the most artistic nnd beautiful
effects nre produced In the combining of
webllko laces nnd velvet ribbons In olive
green , violet , old rose , E ° lle" ( brown , claret ,
and black. Dainty ecru laces .fnd Insertions
combined with rose-colored velvet ribbons
form a rich and most becoming mixture
Pink llsse ruflles embroidered with green and
gold , jnboted , and made up with wine-colored
veivet , are another. Cream-yellow chlflon
scalloped on the edges with deeper yellow
silk floss nnd made up with green or ruby
velvet loops and ends Is a Spanish fancy.
